What it says, against the tree

Each fact this record gives, set beside what the FamilySearch tree says: it agrees, it is new (the tree lacks it), it conflicts, or it is context.

Person Fact Document says Tree says Assessment
William Thompson Birth 1847 (biography: 8 March 1847, England) Sep 1826 Norway conflicts: twenty years and a country apart. The memorial agrees with the lot card's age (81 in March 1928) and with the censuses its companion memorial summarises (53 in 1900, 63 in 1910, 67 in 1915, 72 in 1920); the tree's date comes from a 1900 census entry that is very probably another family (Notes; FS-429)
William Thompson Death 20 Mar 1928 (biography: New York City, Queens; residence 101-08 80th Street, Woodhaven) not recorded new (FS-429 step 2)
William Thompson Burial Maple Grove Cemetery Kew Gardens, Queens County, New York, USA; Summit, plot 27A, grave 1 not recorded new: agrees with the lot card ("Wm. Thompson", grave 1, 81 yrs., interred "Mch 23"), so 23 March 1928 (FS-429)
